"You never really knew where you stood ÃÆ' ¢Ãƒ ¢' ¬" it was kind of a disjointed tournament with the weather the way it was ÃÆ' ¢Ãƒ ¢' ¬" but luckily we had some great weather today," head coach Mike McGraw said. "I'm really happy with 20-under-par, I thought that was great. The kids still felt like we left a few out there, but I think every team that ever plays any tournament round feels that way, and I'm really happy with the performance."
